Portland Port Security Officers Win 'No Outsourcing' Assurance

Security officers at the Port of Portland, Oregon, USA have won an eleventh hour agreement that their jobs will not be outsourced.

Their win came just 12 hours before a strike deadline. It will prevent the outsourcing of security jobs at the port’s big number two and six terminals. The officers are represented by the ITF-affiliated ILWU (International Longshore and Warehouse Union).
